None of the parties or interveners knew in advance what the judgment would be. Sometimes barristers get advance copies of a judgment, or a press summary, but not this time.

The court was packed and hushed, and we knew that many more were watching at a watch party organised by For Women Scotland in Edinburgh, and around the country and indeed the world.

We had precooked two statements: one for a win and one for a loss. We didn’t dare hope the result would be better than 8 on our scale – roughly, an FWS win, but with comments designed to deflect criticism from those opposed to sex-based rights.

I liked KH but DJT was right to say "Kamala is for they/them".

He was wrong to say he was for us but woke is what lost KH the election.

DJT put that right today.

Figure it out.

A huge thank you to LWD activists, MPs, MSPs peers, councillors & staff members who work so hard inside Labour & the trade union movement to promote & uphold the sex-based rights of women & girls.
